SCPNet: Unsupervised Cross-modal Homography Estimation via Intra-modal Self-supervised Learning

Paper

Abstract

We propose a novel unsupervised cross-modal homography estimation framework based on intra-modal Self-supervised learning, Correlation, and consistent feature map Projection, namely SCPNet. The concept of intra-modal self-supervised learning is first presented to facilitate the unsupervised cross-modal homography estimation. The correlation-based homography estimation network and the consistent feature map projection are combined to form the learnable architecture of SCPNet, boosting the unsupervised learning framework. SCPNet is the first to achieve effective unsupervised homography estimation on the satellite-map image pair cross-modal dataset, GoogleMap, under [-32,+32] offset on a 128 × 128 image, leading the supervised approach MHN by 14.0% of mean average corner error (MACE). We further conduct extensive experiments on several cross-modal/spectral and manually-made inconsistent datasets, on which SCPNet achieves the state-of-the-art (SOTA) performance among unsupervised approaches, and owns 49.0%, 25.2%, 36.4%, and 10.7% lower MACEs than the supervised approach MHN.

Quick Start

Evaluation on the GoogleMap dataset:

python test_SCPNet.py --model_dir ./ckpt/ --model_name ggmap.pth --dataset ggmap

Training on the GoogleMap dataset:

python train_SCPNet.py --model_dir ./result/exp_ggmap --dataset ggmap
